With inspiration from research on ``ecologically unequal exchange'' (EUE), we demonstrate the drawbacks of present ``green growth'' strategies by considering how pollution- and resource-intensive industries are distributed unevenly in the world economy, with large and increasing negative impacts on the periphery. The situation may only be exacerbated if the reduction of emissions in the center is based on shifting heavy industries and extractive enterprises to low-cost producers in the periphery. In this way, existing research likely overemphasizes the capacity of ``green'' investment policy to achieve sustainable outcomes. Our scenarios show that achieving global sustainability and improving global equity will require an impressive level of coordination between the center and periphery, as well as a significant reduction in the rate of growth (``degrowth'') in the center.},

Rather than depicting financialisation as a detachment of profits and power from the `real' economy, this paper argues that financial accumulation arises from co-dependent and hierarchical monetary, productive and environmental relations. In particular, we outline how Peripheral subordination is connected to the reorganisation of global value production (`offshoring') and the intensification and expansion of capital to new frontiers of resource extraction (`commodity frontiers'). These patterns form a `financialisation-offshoring-commodity frontier' nexus, a self-reinforcing institutional arrangement that guarantees new possibilities for capital accumulation within the Core of the world-system, while accentuating the Periphery's vulnerability to financial instability, uneven development and ecological degradation. This suggests that addressing Core--Periphery structural imbalances and systemic ecological risks requires a major overhaul of the international monetary and financial system, in a way that may nevertheless limit capital accumulation and GDP growth in Core economies.},

However, the EU's industrial policy framework -- centred on Single Market Resilience, Strategic Autonomy, and Competitive Sustainability -- contains self-undermining contradictions. While aiming for resilience, it fails to strengthen foundational non-market institutions; in seeking strategic autonomy, it exacerbates resource dependencies and eco-imperialist tensions; and in promoting competitive sustainability, it remains reliant on profit-driven private sector strategies that delay necessary transitions. This article critically examines these contradictions using immanent critique and conjunctural analysis, proposing an alternative post-growth framework based on Foundational Liveability, Peaceful Planetary Co-Existence, and Democratically Coordinated Sustainability. To bridge the gap between current constraints and transformative change, we use critical problem-solving to outline contested but feasible next best transition steps within the current politico-economic order. By integrating post-growth insights into industrial policy, this article offers a roadmap for aligning economic activity with planetary boundaries and social well-being.},

The mainstream Sustainable Development discourse, however, insists in upholding the myth of compatibility of current growth-based trajectories with biophysical planetary boundaries. This article explores potentially fertile complementarities among trendy discourses challenging conventional notions of (un)sustainable development -- Human Development, Degrowth, and Buen Vivir -- and outlines pathways for their realization. Human Development presents relative transformative strengths in political terms, while Degrowth holds keys to unlocking unsustainable material-structural entrenchments of contemporary socio-economic arrangements, and Buen Vivir offers a space of cultural alterity and critique of the Euro-Atlantic cultural constellation. The weaknesses or blind spots (`Achilles heels') of each discourse can be compensated through the strengths of the other ones, creating a dialogical virtuous circle that would open pathways towards a global new ``Great Transformation''. As one of the main existing platforms for pluralist and strong-sustainability discussions, Ecological Economics is in a privileged position to deliberately foster such strategic discursive dialogue. A pathway towards such dialogue is illuminated through a model identifying and articulating key discursive docking points.},

It also explores degrowth's relevance to developing countries that have lower levels of material living standards compared to the European countries where it originated. The main argument of this article is that degrowth has significant potential to advance progressive socioecological transformation. Its advocates have also implemented some interesting alternative economic practices, such as nonmonetary exchanges and recreations of the commons, which prioritize socioecological sustainability over profit maximization. However, the degrowth movement has so far paid little attention to the structural hierarchy of the global political economy and hence has not made sufficient suggestions about how to address uneven development within and between countries, which will likely hinder progressive and ecologically sustainable transitions across the globe. Unfair global trade practices and concentrated control over advanced technologies are contentious points that might prevent widespread support for degrowth ideas in developing countries. Some developing countries and subnational local groups also face more constraints than others if they want to scaleup noncapitalist initiatives that are compatible with the degrowth vision, not to mention that some might lack financial means to drive transformative change. These issues cut across the spheres of production, consumption, trade, and finance, which suggests that structural reforms of the global political economy are called for to address unequal relations between developed and developing countries and also inequality within countries.},

So far, the global dimensions of such a transformation in the Global North have arguably not received the required attention. This article critically reflects on the requirements of a degrowth approach that promotes global intragenerational justice without falling into the trap of reproducing (neo-)colonial continuities. Our account of social justice is inherently tied to questions of gender justice. A postcolonial reading of feminist standpoint theory provides the theoretical framework for the discussion. In responding to two main points of criticism raised by feminist scholars from the Global South, it is argued that degrowth activism and scholarship has to reflect on its coloniality and necessarily needs to seek alliances with social movements from around the world on equal footing. Acknowledging that this task is far from easy, some cornerstones of a feminist decolonial degrowth approach are outlined.},

To date, empirical evidence to support this theoretical notion as a systemic aspect of the global economy is largely lacking. Through environmentally-extended multi-regional input-output modelling, we provide empirical evidence for ecologically unequal exchange as a persistent feature of the global economy from 1990 to 2015. We identify the regions of origin and final consumption for four resource groups: materials, energy, land, and labor. By comparing the monetary exchange value of resources embodied in trade, we find significant international disparities in how resource provision is compensated. Value added per ton of raw material embodied in exports is 11 times higher in high-income countries than in those with the lowest income, and 28 times higher per unit of embodied labor. With the exception of embodied land for China and India, all other world regions serve as net exporters of all types of embodied resources to high-income countries across the 1990--2015 time period. On aggregate, ecologically unequal exchange allows high-income countries to si\- multaneously appropriate resources and to generate a monetary surplus through international trade. This has far-reaching implications for global sustainability and for the economic growth prospects of nations.},

One critical research agenda -- ecological unequal exchange --has explored the asymmetric flow of resources and unequal distribution of environmental harms across the world economy, particularly between high-income and low-income countries. However, research into the relationship between middle-income nations and low-income nations has been relatively minimal. This study, building off a world-systems taxonomy of core, semi-periphery, and periphery states, looks to extend research into the ecological dynamics captured in the trade among the non-core states, with regards to carbon emissions, over the course of 1996--2018. I find that patterns of ecological unequal exchange vary among the tiers of the semi-periphery -- identified as the `Semi-Core,' the `Regional Powers,' and the `Secondary Regional States' -- suggesting the importance of tier-specific political-economic features in generating ecological unequal exchange outcomes.},

Using environmentally extended (multi-regional) input-output analysis, we develop and compare stylised scenarios of two alternative green transition strategies--- `green growth' and `degrowth' --- each of which aims to achieve such a reduction through different mechanisms.The findings reveal that, on average, both scenarios lead to reductions in GDP, employment, and a worsening in the balance of trade (as a percentage of GDP) in the Global South. These outcomes highlight that, regardless of the strategy adopted, the green transition in the Global North risks exacerbating economic vulnerabilities and triggering macroeconomic crises in Global South countries under the prevailing patterns of trade and productive specialisation. The paper argues that a just and sustainable green transition requires not only reductions in material consumption in the Global North but also a fundamental restructuring of development strategies in the Global South. This entails moving away from neo-extractivism---characterised by reliance on raw material exports and the import of manufactured goods ---towards diversified and equitable economic models that reduce structural dependencies and enhance resilience.},

But there is a problem: proposals are scattered through a voluminous literature, making it difficult for decision-makers to pinpoint the concrete changes associated with the idea of degrowth. To address this issue, we conducted a systematic mapping of the degrowth literature from 2005 to 2020 using the RepOrting standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses (ROSES) methodology. Out of a total of 1166 texts (articles, books, book chapters, and student theses) referring to degrowth, we identified 446 that include specific policy proposals. This systematic counting of policies led to a grand total of 530 proposals (50 goals, 100 objectives, 380 instruments), which makes it the most exhaustive degrowth policy agenda ever presented. To render this toolbox more accessible, we divided it into in 13 policy themes -- food, culture and education, energy and environment, governance and geopolitics, indicators, inequality, finance, production and consumption, science and technology, tourism, trade, urban planning, and work -- systematically making the difference between goals, objectives, and instruments. Following this, we assess the precision, frequency, quality, and diversity of this agenda, reflecting on how the degrowth policy toolbox has been evolving until today.},

  abstract = {The critique of growth is one of the defining features of ecological economics. Yet ecological economists have had relatively little to say about ``post-growth'' in the global South. In this article, we propose a new definition of post-growth as the combined application and theorization of degrowth, agrowth, steady-state economics and post-development. We then discuss -- with special reference to India -- seven ways of thinking about post-growth in the global South. Starting with the basic observation that the current patterns of growth-fueled ``development'' are ecologically, socially and financially unsustainable, we argue that serious post-growth thinking can only be world-systemic and rooted in class analyses. We then point out that the ``GDP growth against poverty'' connection is debatable and we instead argue, normatively, that an effective post-growth program should focus on fulfilled needs and on wealth redistribution. Against the idea that growth-critical approaches have their origin in industrialized countries, we show that many post-growth ideas have non-Western roots and a substantial number of potential contemporary allies in the global South. Discussing the example of Bhutan, we suggest that preliminary elements of a post-growth program are not as utopian as it might sound.},

  abstract = {This introductory contribution examines the `Global South' as a meta category in the study of world politics. Against the backdrop of a steep rise in references to the `Global South' across academic publications, we ask whether and how the North--South binary in general, and the `(Global) South'in particular, can be put to use analytically. Building on meta categories as tools for the classification of global space, we discuss the increasing prominence of the `Global South' and then outline different understandings attached to it, notably socio-economic marginality, multilateral alliance-building and resistance against global hegemonic power. Following an overview of individual contributions to this volume, we reflect on the analytical implications for using the `Global South' category in academic research. Insights from China, the Caribbean, international negotiations or academic knowledge production itself not only point to patterns of shared experiences but also highlight the heterogeneity of `Southern' realities and increasing levels of complexity that cut across the North--South divide. Overall, we argue for an issue-based and field-specific use of the `Global South' as part of a broader commitment to a more deliberate, explicit and differentiated engagement with taken-for-granted categories.},

  abstract = {In the age of ecological breakdown, there is a growing need for `green' industrial policy. However, existing frameworks for green industrial policy fail to address unsustainable growth in energy and resource use in high-income economies. In this sense, they are not adequate to achieve core ecological objectives. This paper fills a gap in the literature by offering a progressive framework for green industrial policy that combines traditional green industrial policy perspectives with insights from ecological economics and literature on post-growth and degrowth. The framework has three key pillars: (1) scale down ecologically harmful industries and sectors to directly reduce energy and resource use; (2) organise production more around public benefit, with greater democratic control and guidance over investment and production; and (3) work towards global ecological justice and enable greater `ecological policy space' for the global South to pursue industrial development. The paper argues that this progressive approach to green industrial policy is necessary due to the scale and urgency of the ecological crisis. The framework shows how productive capacity can be liberated and redirected towards more socially and environmentally beneficial ends, while also democratising control over the economy.},

  abstract = {Abstract             Researchers have argued that wealthy nations rely on a large net appropriation of labour and resources from the rest of the world through unequal exchange in international trade and global commodity chains. Here we assess this empirically by measuring flows of embodied labour in the world economy from 1995--2021, accounting for skill levels, sectors and wages. We find that, in 2021, the economies of the global North net-appropriated 826 billion hours of embodied labour from the global South, across all skill levels and sectors. The wage value of this net-appropriated labour was equivalent to {\texteuro}16.9 trillion in Northern prices, accounting for skill level. This appropriation roughly doubles the labour that is available for Northern consumption but drains the South of productive capacity that could be used instead for local human needs and development. Unequal exchange is understood to be driven in part by systematic wage inequalities. We find Southern wages are 87--95\% lower than Northern wages for work of equal skill. While Southern workers contribute 90\% of the labour that powers the world economy, they receive only 21\% of global income.},

Results of cross-national fixed effects panel model estimates indicate that levels of such emissions are positively associated with the vertical flow of exports, and the relationship is much more pronounced for lower-income countries than for high-income countries. Additional findings suggest that the observed relationship for lower-income nations has grown in magnitude through time, indicating that structural associations between high-income and lower-income countries have become increasingly ecologically unequal, at least in the context of greenhouse gas emissions. These results hold, net of various important controls.},

While economic mainstream discourse suggests that the Global South still has to grow in terms of achieving development, degrowth proponents expect a reduction of material and energy throughput in the Global North to make ecological and conceptual space for the Global South to find its own paths toward ecosocial transformation. Based on a Latin American post-development and post-extractivist perspective and drawing on dependency theory, this article suggests another approach: first, it argues that the growth imperative, which in the peripheral world translates into the imperative to develop, also causes harm in societies of the Global South. Throughout Latin America, in the last decades, economic growth has mainly been achieved through extractivism with negative impacts, which are now being pushed further by green growth strategies. Second, I explore some possibilities for a cross-fertilisation between degrowth and International Relations scholarship, calling into question the assumption that degrowth in high-income countries would automatically `make space' for the Global South to engage in self-determined paths of ecosocial transformation, as long as the structures, institutions, and rules of global governance and trade which secure profoundly asymmetric, colonial relations are not challenged.},

A 2-region postKeynesian stock-flow consistent model has been developed to carry out this analysis in a North-South context. The model is theoretical and simulates two growing economies with free capital movement and a fully flexible exchange rate. In this work, the initial narrative is replicated by assuming that the Northern region, representing the developed world, starts a post-growth transition by targeting a net reduction of its material footprint. The policy introduced to achieve such a goal is a cap on resources that becomes progressively smaller in every period. At the same time, the other region, which is dubbed the `South' and represents the developing world, continues its pursuit of economic development. This central narrative is elaborated throughout the dissertation by assuming different levels of cooperation between the two regions.},

While previous research has primarily focused on central countries, this study highlights the lack of theoretical foundations that account for the unique characteristics of peripheral countries, including their inequalities, external constraints, low income levels, and socio-structural conditions. The article begins by providing an overview of the degrowth economic concept, emphasizing its key principles. It then examines the specific challenges faced by peripheral countries, including high poverty rates and underdeveloped productive structure. Furthermore, the article explores the distinct macroeconomic conditions, economic dependencies, and structural limitations of peripheral countries. These nations often have low accumulated wealth, very few highproductivity sectors, and a reliance on external accumulation dynamics in financial, monetary and productive dimensions. The last section mainly discusses the conditions and limitations that peripheral countries may encounter when implementing macroeconomic policies for degrowth.},

  abstract = {This article reviews the burgeoning emerging literature on sustainable degrowth. This is defined as an equitable downscaling of production and consumption that increases human well-being and enhances ecological conditions at the local and global level, in the short and long term. The paradigmatic propositions of degrowth are that economic growth is not sustainable and that human progress without economic growth is possible. Degrowth proponents come from diverse origins. Some are critics of market globalization, new technologies or the imposition of western models of development in the rest of the world. All criticize GDP accounting though they propose often different social and ecological indicators. Degrowth theorists and practitioners support an extension of human relations instead of market relations, demand a deepening of democracy, defend ecosystems, and propose a more equal distribution of wealth. We distinguish between depression, i.e. unplanned degrowth within a growth regime, and sustainable degrowth, a voluntary, smooth and equitable transition to a regime of lower production and consumption. The question we ask is how positive would degrowth be if instead of being imposed by an economic crisis, it would actually be a democratic collective decision, a project with the ambition of getting closer to ecological sustainability and socio-environmental justice worldwide.},

  abstract = {Researchers in development studies have expressed discomfort at the hierarchy inherent in the use of `North' and `South', and cognate concepts like `First' and `Third World', or `emerging economies'. Instead of setting aside the terminology, this article delves into the layered meaning-making around the notion of the South. Drawing on multi- and inter-disciplinary perspectives, it maps out the South as (1) territory constructed through history, geography and time, and characterized by (2) relations of domination and othering, which are starkly visible in racial divisions wrought on the world through slavery, colonialism and recent struggles around migration. The article then explores Southern `talk back' through analysis initiated in Southern institutions which highlights (3) structures that continue to divide the world through a political economy of underdevelopment. Finally, it turns to (4) politics which challenges these structures of domination through direct action and solidarities. The conclusion revisits the `stickiness' of `the South'. It is argued that the South as a territorial, relational, structural and political construct is fundamentally about the distribution of power in the global system. While some uses of the concept enhance power asymmetries, others contribute to reducing them. This article concludes that a critical understanding of the contradictory meanings and uses of the concept within development studies is more important than discursive attempts to replace it.},

  abstract = {Addressing ecological crises such as climate change within the current International Monetary System (IMS) will likely be impossible. International monetary relations are built upon a hierarchy between currencies, which generates structural CorePeriphery imbalances and prevents Peripheral countries from attracting the longterm investments necessary for an ecological transition. While propositions have emerged to reform the IMS in order to address both global imbalances and ecological crises, they typically approach these issues as separate phenomena. In contrast, this paper develops a political ecology of global imbalances to explore how currency hierarchies are constituted and maintained through ecological hierarchies: monetary dominance depends upon the continuous and uneven flow of resources from Peripheral to Core countries. This connection between monetary and ecological hierarchies is particularly visible through the Chimerica relationship, which linked the international dominance of the US dollar to China's coal-powered development. While China is now transitioning away from its Peripheral status by seeking to reconfigure currency and ecological hierarchies to support its own resourceintensive growth, this trend also increases the likelihood of systemic ecological crises. This suggests that the quest for a balanced and green IMS requires a dramatic shift away from the Core-driven imperial modes of production, consumption and living.},

This was based on the understanding that Western development has taken place under particular historical and ecological conditions that cannot be reproduced everywhere.

The contributions to this volume by authors from various theoretical traditions provide a wealth of insights on these questions and make the case for alternative epistemic, political and activist approaches premised on anti-imperialism and global justice.},

  abstract = {The theory of ecologically unequal exchange (EUE) suggests that economic relations involve an asymmetric transfer of biophysical resources from the periphery to the core. Despite growing empirical evidence for EUE at the global level, studies have not yet sufficiently analysed the role of semi-peripheries, or the connection between global and domestic processes in reproducing environmental inequalities. To address this gap, we rely on an environmentally extended multi-regional input-output (EEMRIO) model to analyse China's involvement in global (G-EUE) and domestic (D-EUE) EUE from 1987 to 2017. Globally, we show that China's semi-peripheral role is two-fold: China increasingly appropriates natural resources from semi-peripheral and peripheral countries while acting as a net provider of biophysical resources to the core. Domestically, the wealthy East Coast zone is the only net importer of embodied energy and TiVA, while all other regions are net exporters. While China continues to be exploited by the core, it has fuelled its ascent by developing increasingly extractive relationships with peripheral regions both within and outside its borders. Our results suggest the need to move beyond a simple core-periphery dichotomy and to study EUE as a multi-tiered hierarchy of uneven biophysical flows.},
